For years I had an excellent experience with this insurance company. From the beginning, the team was professional, friendly, and very helpful. They explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and made the whole process simple and stress-free. I highly recommend this insurance company to anyone looking for reliable service, professionalism, and peace of mind. Thank you to the entire team for the wonderful experience! Show details

Our case may have seemed routine but most that revolve around a medical issue, are not and, as a consequence, there is always stress around the outcome of a claim. The online claim form was straightforward, and We were promised resolution within ten days of lodgment of our claim and that was spot on. We have used CoverMore many times for travel internationally and domestically and will do so again. Show details

COVER LESS !!! This company uses Philippineo call centres. They speak poor English and can not comprehend customers that speak English. All they do is quote word for word from the PDF statement. Infuriating and useless. Go elsewhere. Show details

We travelled through SE Asia for 11 months and we experienced a medical emergency that required several specialists and a few non life threatening procedures and a week in hospital. The experience of claiming all out of pocket expenses were perfect. We thank you for the experience especially considering our circumstances. This year we travelled… Read more ·  1

I took insurance with Cover-More before attempting a climb to the summit of Mt Kilimajaro in Tanzania, Africa. The 10 day climb by the Northern Route was in October, 2025. Setting up the policy was easy and I did it all on-line. I had a medical issue one day from the summit requiring evacuation by helicopter. Submitting the insurance claim was… Read more ·  1

straightforward and Cover-More approved the claim. It took about 3.5 months to obtain approval but the delay was because I thought I had forwarded an additional, requested document but when Cover-More emailed me why they hadn't heard from me, I discovered I had not done so. Upon receipt of that document, Cover-More were quick in approving the claim. This was my first time using Cover-More. I am very happy with the service provided.

I've been travelling internationally for many years and never leave home without insurance. Never made a claim before but you never know when you need to. Unfortunately I was involved in a MVA on my latest trip and was admitted into hostpital with multiple broken bones and punctured lung. I gave the hostpital a copy of my travel insurance policy… Read more ·  1

and they contacted Covermore on my behalf as I was incapacitated. Everything went ahead relatively smoothly and stress free for me. I had regular phone calls from staff at Covermore with updates and various things I had to inform them of. As I needed surgery there were options discussed about having surgery in Thailand or being flown back to Australia for treatment. I was leaning towards surgery in Thailand and after discussing it with Covermore medical team, it was agreed that I be treated in Thailand. Good decision and great outcome. Im my opinion Covermore went above and beyond with how my claim was handled. All staff I spoke with by phone were extremely helpful and understanding of my situation. It was a stressful time for me but at no time did Covermore add to that stress. Once I returned to Australia I needed to put in a couple more claims for personal items damaged in Accident. I'm a dinosaur when it comes to all things computer so I actually needed to external help with these claims. I received emails and phone calls about these claims and was kept in the loop with what was happening. All aspects of my claims have been settled now and I can't thank Covermore and their staff enough. Anyone who travels without travel insurance is insane. You just never know. Medical costs in foreign countries is extremely expensive so being fully covered makes more sense than starting Go Fund Me page to try and raise the funds needed to cover everything. I can't recommend Covermore highly enough. They are next level Awesome.

I had a fall in Bali in December 2024 which resulted in lacerations and a badly broken nose. I was admitted to the BIMC Hospital for a few days, and needed surgery. CoverMore reviewed my x-rays, recommended surgery in Bali because of the nature of the injury, and dealt directly with the hospital in approving all charges. Further, they had… Read more ·  1

good knowledge of the hospital and resolved my questions about the risks of surgery while overseas. They preapproved the hospital charges and regularly checked on my progress by phone. After I returned to Australia, they also approved my additional medical expenses paid for in cash during the holiday. They saved my trip, and there was no need to return to Australia early. CoverMore was simply outstanding! Thank you.

A very quick response and speedy settlement. A good value policy and recommended insurer. Since turning 80 I regularly use Cover More and have two future policies with them. Have not had a previous claim. Show details ·  1

My Covermore Insurance claim experience – I had a laptop stolen in Hamburg Airport. I reported the incident to the Airport Police and was able to provide a copy of that report to Covermore. I also provided Covermore with a copy of my laptop purchase receipt and a full description of the… Read more ·  3

events and circumstances concerning the theft. I also provided Covermore with proof that our holiday had been paid for with our Combank travelcard. The laptop was never recovered but I'm grateful that the full value of the stolen item, less excess, was paid by Covermore insurance. This type of travel insurance is much cheaper than other options and obviously works when needed provided you are able to provide all the information necessary to process the claim.

 Follow-up  · I have a 3-week holiday coming up in New Zealand next year which I hoped could be covered by Covermore since my experience with them has been very positive. Unfortunately, I've been told that Travel Insurance with Covermore is not available for people over 80. I'm 81 so will need to look for other options.

Do not purchase travel insurance with this company. I purchased an upgraded policy prior to a trip to the USA. Following a traffic accident and injury, which Cover-More has agreed did occur, I had surgery and 6 months off-work. Cover-More's Commitment to Customers policy gives them 9-10 working days to reply which drags-out the claims process.… Read more

However, at one point, I had not received any reply for 33 business days (even after prompting them) and started the complaints process. A very quick claim denial occurred after this. Hours of time by myself, GP and Surgeon was spent jumping through every extra request for documentation that Cover-More required, for them to ignore e-mail contact and then deny the claim once I began to formally complain. I have never made a travel insurance claim before but for a company to agree as part of their claim denial that I had a policy, was seriously injured, had surgery, and had loss-of-income to then deny the claim on a technicality is unethical and immoral. From my experience, I highly recommend not purchasing travel insurance with Cover-More.

I have recently had an insurance claim approved by CoverMore via my CBA complimentary credit card insurance. When taking out the policy, I declared several pre existing medical conditions. Most were accepted without additional fee. However 2 were subject to what I considered a reasonable surcharge. Unfortunately prior to departure on a recent… Read more ·  1

trip, one of my pre existing conditions flared up, and required immediate treatment.

Two years prior I also had to cancel travel plans, and submit a claim with CoverMore, which was also promptly approved once they received all medical reports that were requested.

For the recent claim, I received a phone call from Greg S who was the claims officer managing my claim. Greg immediately put me at ease and explained that he had approved the claim, but just needed to clarify a couple of matters, one of which that I had understated the refund due to me for cruise tickets. Greg amended the considerable amount in my favour. Greg’s sincerity and empathy alleviated the stress that I may have otherwise experienced.

Just a couple of tips. Declare all pre existing conditions, and don’t fudge or overlook any. CoverMore’s website easily allows you to accept any surcharge, or elect not to have the condition covered. Also to avoid having a claim delayed, ensure you forward all relevant documents, including medical reports, when submitting the claim.

Congratulations again CoverMore 10/10, and thank you.

The CBA Credit Card Travel Insurance was taken out when we booked our holiday. Unfortunately, about a week before we were to fly from Australia to the UK, we needed to cancel the trip. The medical factors were outside of our control and while we were extremely disappointed, medical problems are best sorted out in Australia rather than in… Read more ·  1

unfamiliar countries in the middle of a guided tour.

After putting our claim in, Cover-more Travel Insurance were in constant contact with us and kept us informed about the progress of our claim. There were more medical documents required and again after submitting those, Cover-more were contacting us every week or so keeping us updated whilst the claim went through the process.

Once the medical team had assessed all of the documents sent through, we were informed that our claim had been approved. The insurance money was received within a day or two of the notification.

Traditionally insurance claims are normally a fight, however our experience was extremely smooth with constant contact from Cover-more via emails and phone calls, ending with a justified outcome. I can certainly recommend Cover-more Travel Insurance and will definitely continue to use this company for travel insurance in the future.

The process was seamless, and the outcome was more than fair as I thought one of the items that was damaged would be depreciated, as it was 5 years old, but they paid the full amount. Will definitely use again Show details ·  1

When I send many attachments to an email they only read the first one and asked of something which is already sent. So I sent them again and again. I did not complain. Eventually I received the money which I claimed. Show details

humerus on left arm. Cruise doctor/nurse put my arm in a brace until next day then sent me by ambulance to hospital. I needed an operation but because it was Xmas holidays no one was available but I was put in a special brace until I got home. When I returned home I had to find a surgeon , I got operated on 13th Jan. 17 days after the accident. I know the claim would be accepted if I was operated on in NZ but no one was available at the time. Trying to contact help through the app was very difficult & not successful.

We registered for insurance via our credit card. We missed a connecting flight at Frankfurt due to unforeseen delays at the airport on our return travel to Australia. Our claim was processed and has covered all our additional expenses including re-booking cost taxi, hotel and meal. This has been a welcome conclusion to what had been a traumatic conclusion to a European vacation. Thankyou Covermore! Show details ·  1
